NZCB welcomes new Regional Presidents

NZCB is proud to introduce two new Regional Presidents. Let’s find out a little more about them...

Hi, I’m Nick Hill and I took over as President for the Blenhiem/ Marlborough region in March 2020. I moved to Blenheim with my family as a teenager, and I have been in the construction industry here for close to 30 years. I started my career in aluminium fabrication then took on a building apprenticeship. I’ve been self-employed in building for close to 15 years now.

I’ve been a member of New Zealand Certified Builders (NZCB) since 2013 and as the President for the Blenheim/ Marlborough region I’m looking forward to promoting the NZCB brand, to help make people aware of who we are and what we do.

When I’m not on the building site (which isn’t often!) you’ll usually find me camping, or out enjoying the various water activities Marlborough has to offer – diving or just having some fun on the jet-skis. Nick Hill NZCB President Blenheim/Marlborough

With 25 years in the industry – 17 years as a self-employed builder and about 15 years as a New Zealand Certified Builders (NZCB) member – it is fair to say NZCB has been a big part of my business and professional life. The people who know me know I’m not much for watching from the side lines which is probably why I have spent about 10 years on the Waikato committee and completed a stint on the NZCB Board.

I have been fortunate to have had a varied career which included a much younger me living and working in the United States for nearly two years. A more recent change in direction saw me take a role with the Earthquake Commission where my building background and current LBP status are key.

My partner Lisa and I live in Hamilton with our four kids (aged 14 to 22). With the kids growing up it’s a reminder of how crazy fast time passes and how important it is to work towards a work life balance.

When opportunity knocks, the motorbike gets fired up. There is not much that’s better than exploring the less travelled roads of New Zealand to a beach café.

Mike Haywood has been one of Waikato’s best presidents. So, on behalf of Waikato NZCB – thanks Mike. I am sure you will bring the same passion and hard work to your current position on the NZCB Board. I intend to continue the Waikato region’s current direction and culture with the great people we have on our committee. Tim Dove NZCB President Waikato
